Even the best training teams are struggling to understand how best to leverage AI in their course development processes—especially when accuracy, governance, and regulatory expectations are on the line. This session will help you understand where AI genuinely accelerates course development, where it introduces new risks, and how to keep human judgment firmly at the center of your compliance training workflow.

In this webinar, Steven Ramirez, CEO of Beyond the Arc, will walk through practical strategies for using AI responsibly in course design. He’ll break down what AI tools are actually good at, how to evaluate the knowledge base behind an AI-generated answer, and why human fact-checking and instructional design remain essential for compliance validity. Steven will also highlight how to structure your workflow so that AI supports efficiency—without ever compromising regulatory accuracy or institutional risk expectations.

Key takeaways:

• Understand what AI should be used for and what it shouldn’t
• Learn how to assess AI’s underlying knowledge sources
• Ensure accuracy, defensibility, and compliance alignment
• Strengthen instructional design even when leveraging AI to accelerate development
